AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effect of Earth's rotation on gravity, specifically how centrifugal force alters the perceived force of gravity. Without Earth's rotation, gravity would be stronger due to the absence of this outward force. Participants reference calculations involving angular velocity and centrifugal force to illustrate their points. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding these forces in relation to the current gravitational pull experienced on Earth. Overall, the impact of Earth's rotation is significant in determining the effective force of gravity.

What would the force of gravity really be, without the Earth's rotation providing centrifugal force?

(In terms of current g-force)

come on, you can work this out for yourself …

ω = 2π/60*60*24,

and the centrifugal force is mω2r towards the Earth's axis (ie not vertical) :wink:
 
Thread 'Is there a white hole inside every black hole?'
This is what I am thinking. How much feasible is it? There is a white hole inside every black hole The white hole spits mass/energy out continuously The mass/energy that is spit out of a white hole drops back into it eventually. This is because of extreme space time curvature around the white hole Ironically this extreme space time curvature of the space around a white hole is caused by the huge mass/energy packed in the white hole Because of continuously spitting mass/energy which keeps...
